Caregiver

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man has been a caregiver most of his life. Caregivers are people who take care of other adults, most often parents or spouses, who are ill or disabled.

As the American population ages, the number of caregivers and the demands placed on them will grow. About one in four American families or 22.4 million households care for someone over the age of 50. 

Caregiver stress is the emotional strain of caregiving. Studies show that caregiving takes a toll on physical and emotional health. Caregivers are more likely to suffer from depression than their peers. Limited research suggests that caregivers may also be more likely to have health problems like diabetes and heart disease than non-caregivers.

Caring for another person takes a lot of time, effort, and work. Plus, most caregivers juggle caregiving with full-time jobs and parenting. In the process, caregivers put their own needs aside. Caregivers often report that it is difficult to look after their own health in terms of exercise, nutrition, and doctor's visits. So, caregivers often end up feeling angry, anxious, isolated, and sad.

It is important to note that caring for another person can also create positive emotional change. Aside from feeling stress, many caregivers say their role has had many positive effects on their lives. For example, caregivers report that caregiving has given them a sense of purpose. They say that their role makes them feel useful, capable and that they are making a difference in the life of a loved one.

Caregivers who work outside the home should consider taking some time off. If you are feeling overwhelmed, taking a break from your job may help you get back on track. Employees covered under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act may be able to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year to care for relatives. Ask your human resources office about options for unpaid leave.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man suggests that you must take care of yourself in order to take care of others.

aPAL

On October 8, 2005, I posted to my blog about aPAL.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man presents some recommended actions (aPAL) as solutions to prevent yard accidents and to promote yard safety awareness (YSA).

Awareness - create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and recommend the implementation of preventive grass cut safety measures and procedures.

Protection - wear personal protective equipment when grass cutting.

Avoidance - hire a professional lawn service that absorbs the risk and implements grass cut safety measures and procedures.

Legislation - propose new legislation (perhaps, The Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Act) that perhaps sets the minimum lawn equipment operator age at 16 with required grass cut safety education, introduces an operator's license, launches various grass cut safety educational programs targeted at various age and occupational groups, etcetera. Actually, there were some professional landscaping trade organizations that introduced landscaping certification programs at the time that I introduced this mission.

I can be reached at 2122 South Hermitage Road, Hermitage, PA 16148. My phone number is (seven 24) three 47-four 078 and mobile (seven 03) eight 51-nine 105.

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990

Richard Mudrinich is a disabled person. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is a disabled super hero.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is a federal law that was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1990. It was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H. W. Bush, and later amended with changes effective January 1, 2009.

The Americans with Disabilities Act provides disabled citizens with civil protections that provide equal opportunities in education, communications, transportation and employment. The ADA is a wide-ranging civil rights law that prohibits, under certain circumstances, discrimination based on disability. It affords similar protections against discrimination to Americans with disabilities as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal. Disability is defined by the ADA as "a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity." The determination of whether any particular condition is considered a disability is made on a case-by-case basis. Certain specific conditions are excluded as disabilities, such as current substance abuse and visual impairment, which is correctable by prescription lenses.

On September 25, 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). This was intended to give broader protections for disabled workers and "turn back the clock" on court rulings, which Congress deemed too restrictive. The ADAAA includes a list of major life activities.

Richard Mudrinich and his alter-ego Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man advocate for disabled rights. He strives to educate those without disabilities about those with disabilities. He strives to educate those with disabilities about those without disabilities. He strives to educate and entertain individuals, families, and institutions about yard safety to prevent yard accidents and disabilities. He strives to befriend other individuals and animals with disabilities. He strives to promote diversity. Richard Mudrinich is extremely grateful for the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It was the first comprehensive declaration of equality for people with disabilities.

It is a great day to embrace abilities and disabilities. Thank you.

Immaculate Reception

Football. Kickoff. Grass. Mowing. Yard safety awareness. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

I propose that, before kickoff at football games across America this season, people take a moment to reflect on the importance of yard safety. This applies to soccer as well.

Franco Harris and the Immaculate Reception (greatest NFL play) propelled the Pittsburgh Steelers to a series of championships. George Washington was an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first President of the United States of America. I have a dream too. No more yard accidents.

Be yard safe! Think before you cut. It hurts! (tm)

Dedication to My Mom

(I posted this blog entry on July 27, 2005. I repost it today in honor and memory of my mom Helen Viola Mudrinich who died on July 18, 2017, nine years ago.)

Recently, my mom was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus. I want to dedicate the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) yard safety awareness campaign to my mother Helen Viola Mudrinich for rescuing me many times over the years. I am more determined and driven than ever before in my entire life to elevate the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) to the national-level. It is needed to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of outdoor power equipment accidents. It is a very serious issue. My mom has a great positive attitude; it is apparent that positive thoughts can drive positive results. I am confident that my mom will recover cancer-free. I really believe that GOD will heal her.

Likewise, I must drive positive change with regards to preventing lawn mower and yard-tool related accidents. Once again, my mom will lead by example. She will provide the inspiration behind taking the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) campaign to the national-stage. My dream is for my mom to visit President George W. Bush with me. Also, it would be great if Lance Armstrong - "Mr. Cancer Survivor" - could come along as well. I will even wear my yellow Rescue Rick T-Shirt (tm) as a tribute his amazing super-human fetes. In many ways, Lance is another super hero. My mom wants to meet Lance Armstrong as well. Please say a prayer for my mom - Helen Mudrinich, mother of Rescue Rick theGrass Cut Man (sm). My mom has woven the fabric of Rescue Rick (sm). I want to blanket the world with yard safety. Think before you cut. It hurts. (tm)

I am grateful for my mom. My mom influenced Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man. She had a long history of reaching out to help other people. She seemed to always put other people before herself in a Christ-like fashion. Also, my mom really cared for Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man. She really helped me immediately after my lawn mower accident. It was a very difficult and challenging time for several reasons. My mom took care of me. Likewise, I have inherited a will to rescue people from having a yard accident. If not for my mom, the many yard safety innovations that Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man has introduced to the world would have never happened. My mom died in 2017, and she would be so sad that I have not had the resources to advance any of my ideas. Instead, other people and institutions have built businesses and advanced their organizations off of my inspirations and experiences. It is sad that there was nobody who cared enough about me to help me fulfill my desires.

It was a long challenging supportive journey.  The biggest compliment that we received was that my mom was literally 1 in a million patients who survived that long. I was a dedicated son who sacrificed his life to get her life.  It impacted my career, my finances, my personal life, etc.  It has been an extremely challenging aftermath.

It would be an amazing sign of grace of something huge could happen for me!  In Jesus name, Amen.

Yard Footwear

Richard Mudrinich is the founder and inventor of the first-of-its-kind lawn safety footwear and gear, including the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Yard Safety Footwear™. "I am the first yard safety super hero in the history of the world. Furthermore, I am the first person in the world to invent garden grass landscape landscaping lawn mowing turf yard safety footwear specifically targeted for the landscaping experience. I conceived these ideas, especially the yard safety footwear, after chopping-off part of my left foot with a walk-behind power push lawn mower while cutting the grass,” shares Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

“I was inspired to invent my yard safety footwear immediately after my yard accident. While in the hospital recovering from several surgeries as a result of my severe lawn mower accident, I made a life-commitment (divine inspiration) to yard safety awareness. In the hospital bed, I conceived the concept of the first-of-its-kind yard safety footwear and gear in order to prevent yard accidents from happening to other people and animals. Since I cut-off part of my left foot, I focused initially on designing and developing the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Yard Safety Footwear™. My focus then expanded to design Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Yard Safety Gear™ to protect other parts of the body. These personal protective equipment items are yard safety insurance products and promote preventative medicine as well. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ will donate to educational and charitable purposes,” shares Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ has received a divine direction (patent) from God to continue to promote the concept of yard safety footwear. He recognizes that other individuals have taken his idea as their own. He wishes that those individuals would acknowledge that Richard Mudrinich (Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™) is the inventor of yard safety footwear. Furthermore, there are some individuals who exhibited unethical, unprofessional, and maybe illegal behavior with regards to private discussions, especially involving some federal (government officials, small business development centers, etc.), federal affiliated (SCORE), commercial organizations (patent attorneys), non-profit organizations (hospitals, business development organizations, etc.) that exist to help an entrepreneur development his idea into a business, including protecting intellectual property. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ cautions entrepreneurs about approaching these organizations, especially with regards to intellectual property. In essence, the entrepreneur feeds these organizations ideas that are then distributed and exploited beyond the entrepreneur. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ was exploited by organizations established to help (not exploit) entrepreneurs. Indeed, there are now several new entrants into the yard safety footwear arena. Also, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is the source of other small and large corporations entering the yard safety footwear business. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is the source of new footwear applications by recent entrants into the lawn safety footwear market, including existing safety footwear. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is disappointed in these individuals and organizations, especially those acknowledging that Richard Mudrinich is the father and inventor of garden grass landscaping lawn mowing turf yard safety footwear. Richard Mudrinich wants some credit and compensation for acting as the catalyst of a new niche yard safety marketplace. "Throw the yard safety super hero a bone," requests Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is a caped crusader and yard safety super hero working tirelessly to prevent lawn mower accidents and to promote yard safety. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is a renaissance yard man utilizing various art forms to communicate his safety message. “I want to educate and entertain the general public regarding the importance of yard safety.

I learned this from first-hand experience when I amputated part of my left foot while cutting the grass,” shares Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™. “Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is here today so that yard accidents go away.”

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is a yard safety awareness conduit for the betterment of mankind. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ wants to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive measures to rescue individuals and families from the dreaded experience associated with yard accidents. Each year, there are about 100,000 lawn mower accidents. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that hospital emergency rooms treat more than 400,000 outdoor garden-tool-related accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics indicate that yardwork accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people. According to Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, "Think before you cut. It hurts. I encourage you to heed the outdoor power equipment safety precautions and to promote yard safety!"

Be yard safe! Think before you cut. It hurts!

I am the #inventor of the #lawn #yard #footwear concept. I was the primary #caregiver of my #mom for over 15 years; I could not advance my concept. In the meantime, several corporations and a few startups have created yard shoes. I am looking for kindred spirits who will help make my footwear vision a reality. Please contact me if you are interested. #RIPMom #RRtGCM

The Masterpiece

I have been asked by several people recently about how I could set a price of over $1,000,000 for the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man painting titled "The Lawn Mower Accident." I have been criticized that I am no Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, to name a few masters. My response to them, "You are correct. I am Richard Mudrinich, and I believe in my painting." I am making passionate brush strokes to advance my yard safety awareness advocacy. My painting "The Lawn Mower Accident" depicts grass needing a "hair cut" coupled with the aftermath of a lawn mower accident on the other side. The capillary action of the blades of grass draws the victim blood up toward the heavens. The sacrificed flesh demonstrates the need for even more yard safety awareness. Likewise, up from the puddle of blood and blood-soaked soil, the sunflower embraces the birth and evolution of the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man yard safety awareness campaign. It represents the beacon of light that will shine and drive more advances and create more awareness about the importance of yard safety leading toward the elimination of yard accidents - including those involving outdoor power equipment. I recognize the value in the message of the "The Lawn Mower Accident" painting. I think others will enjoy and appreciate the meaning of the painting as well. I want to make yard accident extinct. Indeed, I am not Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, da Vinci or Rembrandt. I am Richard Mudrinich, painting with the passion and spirit of Rescue rick the Grass Cut Man. The positive attention gained from selling the Rescue Rick painting for over $1,000,000 will help spread the word and provide needed funds to advance the advocacy. Thank you.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man paints with his altered left foot and his right hand (in sections of paintings involving more detail). The Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Artwork (tm) communicates a message of yard safety. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man attaches the paintbrush to his partially amputated left foot to fill the void and channel his passion for safety through his foot on to the canvas. For information on the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Artwork (tm), please contact Richard Mudrinich (Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man) via contact information at https://www.rescuerick.com. Thank you.

Senior Parent Awareness

President George W. Bush gave birth to the "Leave No Child Behind" educational plan. We are all children of God. Thus, I recognize that the senior community should not be left behind, including senior parents. Therefore, I have coined the phrase "Leave No Parent Behind." Parents are often times there to help their children. The senior parent sometimes needs the help of the children. Therefore, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man promotes Senior Parent Awareness (SPA) before it is too late. Thank you to all senior parents. You have not been left behind in my mind. Likewise, senior parents can still teach their children, grandchildren, and communities about yard safety awareness. Live before it is too late!

Trilogy

Richard Mudrinich, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm), has written a trilogy of poems that together communicate the unified message of yard safety, including the advancement of his awareness and prevention themes.  The first poem "Lawn Manicure" is a haiku that focuses on the natural aspects of grass with a subtle safety message.  The second poem "Birth of Rescue Rick" is a limerick that light-heartedly introduces our yard safety super hero Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm).  The third poem "Prevent Lawn Mower Accidents" is a rhythmic poem that communicates a first-hand experience of a lawn mower amputee and crescendos to spur a collaborative effort to create awareness regarding yard accidents and to communicate a safety message to eliminate yard accidents, in particular, outdoor power equipment accidents.

Birth of Rescue Rick (Limerick)

There once was a man
Who was a grass-cutting fan.
He cut off his big toe
Screaming oh no!
And hence was born Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.
 
 
Yard Safety Awareness (Poem)
By Richard Mudrinich
 
Think before you cut. It hurts!
Sometimes even blood spurts.
You go to the emergency room.
You sometimes go to the operating room.
 
You become dependent on the care of a medical professional.
Sometimes even congressional.
It costs everyone a lot of money.
It is far from funny.
 
Sometimes you yell ouch
Spending many hours at home on the couch.
After the accident things are not the same.
Life presents you with a new and different game.
 
Many people want to prevent a yard tragedy.
Many medical professionals work in harmony.
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is here today
With hopes that lawn mower accidents go away.
 
Think before you cut.  It hurts!
Think before you cut.  It hurts!
